Terminal and operating method thereof
A terminal includes a first storage, which is kept turned on in a sleep mode, and is utilized to store a first packet transmitted with a server, a second storage which is utilized to store data required for the terminal in a wake-up mode, a central processing unit which is utilized to generated a second packet according the first packet and send the first packet to a access point in the sleep mode, and a communication unit which is connected to the access point and is utilized to transmit the second packet according to control of the central processing unit.
1. A terminal, comprising:
a first storage configured to store a first packet transmitted with a server, wherein the first storage remains accessible when the terminal is both in a sleep mode and a wake-up mode;
a second storage configured to store data required to wake-up the terminal, wherein the second storage is turned off when the terminal is in the sleep mode;
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to generate a second packet utilized to keep connection between a terminal and an access point (AP), and configured to periodically transmit the second packet to the AP;
and
a communication unit, connected with the AP, and configured to transmit the second packet according a control signal from the CPU,
wherein the first packet is copied from the second storage when the terminal is in the wake-up mode, and the second packet is generated according to the first packet in the first storage, so that the connection between the terminal and the AP is kept when the terminal is in the sleep mode through the second packet.
2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the CPU stores the first packet in the first storage when the terminal receives the first packet from the server at a first time.
3. The terminal according to claim 1 , where the second packet comprises a destination internet protocol address and port information.
4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the CPU generates the second packet according to a communication protocol between the terminal and the AP.
5. An operational method of a terminal, comprising,
storing a first packet transmitted between the terminal and a server in a first storage;
storing data required to wake-up the terminal in a second storage;
generating a second packet for keeping connection between the terminal and an access point (AP);
and
periodically transmitting the second packet to the AP,
wherein the first storage remains accessible when the terminal is both in a sleep mode and a wake-up mode, the second storage is turned off when the terminal is in the sleep mode, and
wherein the first packet is copied from the second storage when the terminal is in the wake-up mode, and the second packet is generated according to the first packet in the first storage, so that the connection between the terminal and the AP is kept when the terminal is in the sleep mode through the second packet.
6. The operational method according to claim 5 , wherein the first packet is stored in the first storage when the terminal receives the first packet from the server at first time.
7. The operational method according to claim 5 , wherein the second packet comprises a destination internet protocol address and port information.
8. The operational method according to claim 5 , wherein the second packet is generated according to a communication protocol between the terminal and the AP.
